To Note
A few unique items have changed with the release of patches. All new unique items found will have the same stats as the ones in the table below, items found in 1.09 or earlier may have slightly different stats. Items that have had changes will marked with a * and the change will be listed under the table.
- Unique bows are found in Diablo II and the Expansion.
- In 1.10 of the Expansion the odds of gambling a unique is 1 in 2000.
- All bows are two-handed.
- Weapon Speed (WSM): A relative comparison to other weapons of the same type. 0 is the base -10, -20, etc is faster, 10, 20, etc is slower.
- Dmg Bonus: This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage. Each point in this statistic multiplies your damage by bonus/100 %. All bows are 100 Dex.
- Firing Rate: The speed shown in-game for each character using this weapon. This speed is mostly meaningless (see here for more info) and is included for completeness only. Characters are abbreviated to their first letters, with Amazon = Am and Assassin = As.
- Item Level: Chests and monsters must be at least this level to drop the item.
- Clvl Req: The level you must be to equip the item. No D2 Uniques had Clvl requirements prior to v1.07 D2.
